Transpac 52

Strewth is a 2004 TP 52 designed to compete as an OFFSHORE yacht. She has been optimised for IRC racing with a new keel and bowsprit.

Unlike other TP52’S she comes robustly constructed equipped with an interior and equipment suitable for offshore racing as well as round the buoys.

The boat is set up for offshore racing with a galley, water maker, refrigerator and enclosed head. There is ample storage space. There is a separate purpose-built navigation area – the envy of many other tp’s. The eight bunks are commodious and can be shifted for maximum weight advantage.

The program for the yacht is to complete the season in Asia before heading to Hamilton Island Race week and then to Sydney in preparation for the Sydney Hobart 2011. Strewth can be purchased at any time during this campaign.

Please contact YOTI to organise an inspection.
